Good luck to the two debutants today.

 

Looks a super fast and hard outfield, I wouldn't fancy chasing or diving around on that.

Selection of the XL shouldn't just be down to the Head Coach, though. The captain should have a big input. 

 

I also thought that one of the original intentions behind appointing a DOC was to line manage the players and take that responsibility away from the Head Coach. So if a player has been disciplined, surely that would have been Henderson's decision and not Thomas'.

With Handscombe as captain I would agree because he would stand his ground, however as I’ve said before Thomas is a control freak and will ride roughshod over the current captains

What’s a chaseable score do we think? Eskinazi’s 50 over average is insane so I think if we can keep them under 300 we can do it.

Reading all of the previous pages, maybe Jarvis was actually better at his job than many gave him credit for in terms of actual club management. 
 

Also the comments on Oliver Hawke are disgusting. Was old ‘this little light of mine’ Louis a nutter? No. It’s nice to have passionate fans, likelihood is he probably just meets conditions for ASC or something (like my good self).

Ajaz Patel is bowling well considering he’s not in the squad

Could be under 200! We have bowled well, not sure about the pitch but let’s see how we go on it.

A really good stint from him today, which begs the question of why he was not signed for the T20 (where we needed some control in the bowling). Although there've been factors beyond the coaches' control as regards this year's overseas signings, this needs to be part of the post-season inquest, together with the underperformance of various players.

Regardless of what we do in the One Day Cup, if we're relegated from the CC, then certain people's time should probably be up.

Alex Green is just joke levels good in 50 over cricket. Average of 20 and did better than that today again. Sadly we’ll lose him to the 16.4 before the tournament is over.

He's fantastic, I can see him having a great career. Much more repeatable action than Josh Hull has at the moment, though hopefully he gets over this bad season.

[MaidstoneFox]

Hopefully we smash this, get off to a good win and run rate.

He was signed for the T20 they just choose Kelly and Turner instead.

Eskinazi already scored more in this tournament than he did in the t20

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Cox is so reliable, we’re really going to miss him if he goes. 

[Beagle]

That’s two bizarre run outs! 

[Lionator]

Good win as Glos are always strong in this. 

[Bert]

Great win! 
 

I read that ourselves and Gloucestershire are the two teams least affected losing players to the hundred in this, us with 1 and them with 0. 

[Walshy5]

Never in doubt.

[Beagle]

Cox the hero again. Got a bit tighter than I would have liked at the end but thank goodness for a win! I’d forgotten what it felt like!

Sam Wood joins Notts on loan for the one day campaign...how utterly bizarre....

They’re obviously short on seamers. Can’t get near our squad and will be a 1/60 bowler.

It’s always good to weaken your rivals!

[Walshy5]

Is he eligible to play against us? If so he'll probably get a fivefer 🤦‍♂️
